Description
When a file in package is empty, go list
fails with this error:
$ go list -e -json ~/mod1
{
"Dir": "$HOME/rstambler/mod1",
"ImportPath": "mod1",
...
"GoFiles": [
"const.go",
"mod1.go"
],
"Error": {
"ImportStack": [
"mod1"
],
"Pos": "",
"Err": "\nmod2.go:1:1: expected 'package', found 'EOF'"
}
}
Where mod1
contains files const.go
, mod1.go
, and mod2.go
, the empty file. We had previously worked around this in go/packages
(see CL 201220) by adding the file in the error message to the list of GoFiles. However, it has recently been noticed that this result is also missing the list of dependencies for the given package. Would it be possible for go list
to return the correct list of deps for the other files in the package?
